Is the Long Island Medium Real? Teresa Caputo, The Reality TV Show Psychic

When watching the Long Island Medium on cable’s TLC channel, many may wonder if the Long Island Medium, Teresa Caputo, is really real.

And for obvious reasons; here is a woman who is followed by a camera during a 30 minute episode in Hicksville, NY on frequent errands and family outings and then suddenly feels dead spirits around followed by the urge to jump into on the spot readings.

Teresa Caputo isn’t exactly the first psychic medium on TV who can purportedly talk to the dead; you’ll probably remember that John Edwards is probably one of the more famous TV psychic mediums. Lisa Williams also had a really good TV run as well when it came to psychics on popular TV shows.

What makes Teresa Caputo’s show different is because it’s obviously unscripted and a full fledged reality show, where as Edwards and Williams tyically were in front of audiences channeling.

It’s equally obvious that you don’t make up running into emotional people who’ve lost children and parents and getting details spot on about these dead relatives who want to come through on the other side. Imagine all the bad mojo and karma for those clients and Caputo herself, if she was to make this all up.

Captuo as an intuitive, who speaks to the dead, uses automatic writing. When she sits down with her clients you’ll notice that she’s scribbling in her notebook and drawing pictures. This is what is referred to as automatic writing and using her spirit guides to speak to her. In fact, many intuitives believe that most people are psychic on some level and automatic writing: writing a thing down without intellectual thought is a way for our guides and God to speak to us on a deeper level.

Teresa Caputo's Certifications – Proof of Her Mediumship Abilities

After some careful research, one of the most compelling certifications that prove Caputo’s abilities would have to be her certification with the Forever Family Foundation. FFF promotes families making connections with their relatives on the other side to facilitate a healthy grieving process. To the end, the FFF organization actually verifies mediums ability in communication with spirits. There are multiple sessions where mediums are scored by their ability to accurately communicate to those on the other side. Once the medium passes the series of assessments they are given the seal of approval by the organization. Caputo is one of the Forever Family Foundation certified psychics.

But research shows that at least ONE of her cities of residence is still Hicksville, NY (where she is originally from). I think it’s smart by the way to still stay grounded it shows that fame hasn’t really upset her lifestyle. And I’d imagine not being swayed by all the fame and money helps her also maintain her mediumship talents.
